Chapter 594 Talk about conditions with the leader of the Osaka Division

Kenzo Kitano stared at Wang Chengzhu's eyes for a long time and found that he could not see through the other party's thoughts. The only thing that could be confirmed was that the other party did not seem to be lying, so he said, "Yes, our Osaka Division does not want to fight, nor does it mean that he wants to die. He just wants everyone to do business together to make money.

Coming to your country's territory is also the place where the order is, and it is forced to do so."

Speaking of this, Kitano Kenzo suddenly changed his mind and continued: "But, the Youth Army has always been poor, and I am afraid that I can't even make up 100,000 silver dollars. How can we make a few or even dozens of 100,000 silver dollars like you said?"

Wang Chengzhu smiled and said, "Since the commander of the Kitano Division has been in Shanxi for a while, it should be clear that our Eighth Route Army has conquered Pingding, Yangquan, Jinzhong, and Yangquan County. Among them, the silver dollars obtained by fighting the local tyrants in Jinzhong County alone have exceeded 10 million."

Kenzo Kitano did know this, and asked again: "I have studied the Gui army and knew that the Gui army is a disciplined army. All the spoils you seized on the battlefield need to be handed over. I am afraid that these silver dollars are no longer in your 129th Division, but have been handed over to the headquarters to purchase all kinds of materials you are in urgent need."

Wang Chengzhu was also bright and said truthfully: "Yes, most of this batch of silver dollars have been handed over to our Eighth Route Army headquarters. There are indeed not many people who stay in our 129th Division, but there is one thing that is more precious than silver dollars."

As he said that, Wang Chengzhu slowly took a box from his pocket. Although the box packaging was written in English, Kenzo Kitano recognized it all at once, and his eyes immediately turned straight: "Is this? Is this penicillin?"

The reason why Kitano Kenzao was so shocked was that penicillin could not be produced in large quantities in the early stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan, but it had no medicine to compare with it. Even sulfonamide was far from being able to do so. Moreover, sulfonamide had great side effects and could not be used in large quantities, but penicillin did not.

In that era, penicillin was definitely considered a hard currency, and even maintained its value more than gold.

Because gold can be obtained through various channels, penicillin cannot.

Wang Chengzhu nodded: "Yes, the commander of the Kitano Division has good eyesight! This is penicillin, a total of 20 pieces. Although our 129th Division does not have enough silver dollars, it has enough penicillin. I think using penicillin to do business with you should show more sincerity than using silver dollars?

At least the silver dollar is depreciating year by year, while penicillin is hard to find."

Wang Chengzhu did not have enough silver dollars, so he was forced to use penicillin to trade with the Osaka Division.

Although letting some penicillin fall into the hands of the Japanese may save some Japanese, purchasing Japanese weapons and ammunition can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army and eliminate more Japanese.

In this way, one fore and one forehand seems to be of no benefit to the Eighth Route Army, but in fact it is not the case.

The reason is also very simple. Using some penicillin can help the Osaka Division, reach long-term cooperation with the other party, and purchase various materials that the Eighth Route Army is in urgent need.

In addition, the Osaka Division can also act as an insider, so that they can let the water go, and maybe they can also obtain various intelligence information from the Japanese army from them, such as the next big sweep of troops. In this way, the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. Isn’t it easy to defeat or even severely damage this Japanese army?

Compared with these benefits, the disadvantages of sending some penicillin from the Japanese can be completely negligible.

Kenzo Kitano: "I admit that compared to silver dollars, I do prefer the precious military penicillin to trade with us, but the problem is that although the penicillin is of high value, it is only 20 pieces. Captain Wang, you seem to underestimate me too much."

Wang Chengzhu: "I think you misunderstood, Commander of the Kitano Division. These 20 penicillin are not all of my 129th Division. They can't even make up for money. They are just a sample. I want to confirm that our Eighth Route Army has penicillin, that's all."

Kenzo Kitano stared at Wang Chengzhu's eyes for a while before continuing, "Captain Wang, what you mean, your Eighth Route Army not only has penicillin, but also has a lot of it?"

Wang Chengzhu shook his head: "Captain of the Kitano Division, you may have misunderstood what I mean. Our Eighth Route Army does not have a large amount of penicillin, but an endless amount of penicillin, because we have mastered the purification technology of penicillin.

Therefore, it can be said that as long as there are raw materials, the Eighth Route Army can produce as much penicillin as possible."

Hearing this, Kenzo Kitano's face suddenly sank, and he said with a bad tone: "Captain Wang, do you think of me as a three-year-old child? The purification technology of penicillin has not been mastered by our Great Japanese Empire, Europe and the United States, and many advanced powers such as Europe and the United States. How can you Eighth Route Army master it?"

Wang Chengzhu asked without answering, "Who stipulates that if you Japan, Europe and the United States, do not master the purification technology of penicillin, our Eighth Route Army cannot master it?

Also, I will deceive you and our Eighth Route Army’s next biggest partner, which will be any benefit for us?

Moreover, such deception methods may not be too low-level.”

After pausing, Wang Chengzhu changed his mind and continued: "Although your division does not like fighting, your combat effectiveness is no worse than any other Japanese army.

Once my lies are revealed and your division is also involved in this sweep, then our 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army will face a catastrophe.

So, what reason do I have to deceive our Eighth Route Army’s largest partner and create a strong enemy for myself?”

Wang Chengzhu said this at all, because the Osaka Division really just doesn't like fighting, but it does not mean that their combat effectiveness is poor.

In fact, because they eat well and sleep well, their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of most other Japanese troops.

For example, in the Philippines, due to the failure of the US military to cooperate, the Osaka Division launched an attack on the US military in anger, not only defeating it, but also capturing more than 65,000 American soldiers.

In this regard, the Osaka Division is very similar to the Italian army.

The Italian army in World War II was also famous for its straits, so that there was a famous saying that if your opponent was an Arab, then you had won before the war began; but if your allies were an Italian, then you had lost before the war began.

Some people may ask, what if your opponent is Arab and your allies are Italian?
